Seated Figure

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Seated Figure" by an unknown artist depicts a dark gray, metal figure with a rough texture. The figure has a bald head with small ears on the sides and a face that appears to have a neutral expression with eyes closed. It has a small nose and mouth. The body has two breasts and is sitting on a surface with the left leg crossed over the right. The right arm is raised to the face, with the elbow bent. The left arm is straight down with the hand grasping what appears to be a cylindrical object. The background is a plain beige wall behind the figure and white and pink below it.
